The Chairman of the Political Parties Registration Commission (PPRC) Mr. Abdullai Masiyambay Bangurah on Wednesday, August 24, 2022, admonished the leadership of the 17 registered political parties in Sierra Leone to engage in robust sensitization on the importance of the 2022 voter registration process.
In his statement during the launching of the 2022 voter registration exercise, the Chairman informed the gathering that the Commission, with funds from the government of Sierra Leone, intends to deploy the membership of the All Political Parties Youth Association (APPYA) and the All Political Parties Women’s Association to also encourage Sierra Leoneans of voting age to come out from the 3rd of September to the 4th of October 2022 to be registered by the Electoral Commission of Sierra Leone (ECSL). This, he says, will contribute enormously to making the process inclusive and transparent.
He advised political parties not to engage in any form of campaigning during the exercise as the ECSL is yet to declare the start of the campaign.
He said that the Commission will continue its collaboration with the ECSL, and that the Commission will also lend its support to the activities of the ECSL.
